When it was the Two Hundred and Twentysixth Night,She said,It hath reached me,O auspicious King,that Princes Amjad and As'ad returned from the path leading to the Mountain head and took that which ran along the midway heights,and walked through all that day till nightfall,when As'ad,weary with much travel,said to Amjad,'O my brother,I can walk no farther,for I am exceeding weak.'Replied Amjad,'O my brother,take courage!
May be Allah will send us relief.'So they walked on part of the night,till the darkness closed in upon them,when As'ad became weary beyond measure of weariness and cried out,'O my brother,I am worn out and spent with walking,'and threw himself upon the ground and wept. Amjad took him in his arms and walked on with him,bytimes sitting down to rest till break of day,when they came to the mountaintop and found there a stream of running water and by it a pomegranatetree and a prayerniche.[379]
